Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

D. Its followers believed that governments should be modeled after the ancient Greek and Roman governments.

Step-by-step explanation:

The theory of "divine rights of kings" was based on the supremacy of the kings over everyone else, including the church or religious beliefs. Therefore, they are exempted from any obligation, and even free from being held accountable for their actions.

Among the many theories about this right, one of the false beliefs is that the followers of this theory believed in the need for governments to be modeled after the ancient Greek and Roman governments. This divine authority was an ancient fundamental principle of the Egyptians, who believed kings to be the fathers of society. They are directly appointed by the gods to rule, thus held no earthly responsibility or are to be subjected to any political or religious accounts. And it is thus deemed a great sin to revolt or express any dissension or rebellion against such God-ordained rulers.
